I was a very naughty girl .......

who fancied a trip to Kyabram to see what cheap fat quarters might have been available and spent just a little more than intended.  But how often do you see $2.50 fat quarters.....

 

and then have a couple of $5.50 ones catch my eye....

 

 

After spotting these kits and umming and arring about getting them....

 

 

 

I walked to the back of the shop and found a box full of Cascade and DMC wool threads at 50c a piece!  I am trying to gather a little collection of colours so that one day I can make something with them.  I did manage a good colour selection to add to some I already had from a discontinued Appletons sale last year.  Slowly but surely I will have a woollen project on the go either this coming winter or the next.  As usual I will pick something lovely, delicate and florally and just use whatever yarn colours I have amassed.  Would be nice on the next trip if she had the entire collection of Cottage Garden threads at $1.  I think that will never happen lol.

 





I also visited a little newsagent in Tongala which is a really tiny town and found a few magazines that I hadn't come across before.  Now this is the really naughty bit because they were all over $10 lol.   But then again I have only done this twice in the last year so its not so bad if you average it out over 12 months right?

Well back to some felt ornaments I have started making as they all need to be finished by Friday this week.  Thats my self imposed time limit because I am hoping that thread will be here and I can start the Magnolia project.  The week is warming up too so I plan lots of stitching between now and Monday lol.
